Upon learning this news, the Dragon King pondered for a moment before saying, "Do not worry about the meteorite matter, I will send someone to collect meteorites to awaken your Xuanyuan Sword Shadow, as for how to open the Gate of Heavenly Path..."

At this point, a gleam flashed in the Dragon King's eyes, "This can only be considered our last hope, we cannot place all our hope on this issue."

"I understand," Ling Feng said earnestly.

"Very well, you can go back now. When you return, convey a message for me, say Aunt Wan misses Ting Yu and should find some time to come over in the next few days," the Dragon King said, his gaze somewhat drifting.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Ling Feng's mouth, "I will surely pass on the message!"

After Ling Feng had left, Xia Wan'er appeared behind the Dragon King, with a hint of annoyance, she said, "You, what are you still being reserved for? You clearly miss your daughter, why drag me into it?"

The Dragon King defended himself, "Don't you miss Ting Yu too? Just yesterday you were lamenting that Ting Yu hasn't come to see you recently, wasn't I just considering your feelings?"

Looking at her husband who was stubborn as a dead duck, Xia Wan'er rolled her eyes and did not burst his little bubble of pride.

"Speaking of which, wasn't the purpose of seeking out Ling Feng about the challenge from Long Guangyi? Why didn't you mention that?" Xia Wan'er asked in a deep voice.

With a flip of his hand, the Dragon King revealed a challenge letter brimming with a chilly intent to kill.

"Long Guangyi…" the Dragon King muttered softly, "I never expected that after so many years, he still hasn't let go of the obsession in his heart. When Master handed over the Dragon Group to me, it was to protect Huaxia, not to serve as a weapon for domination. If the Dragon Group falls into Long Guangyi's hands, then what awaits the Ancestor Dragon could be destruction!"

A vicious look flashed in the Dragon King's eyes, "Therefore, no matter what, I will not lose this challenge, I will not lose to Long Guangyi! Even in death, I will make sure he suffers!"

"But now Long Guangyi's strength has reached an incredible level!" Xia Wan'er voiced her concern, "How confident are you?"

"Do not worry, Wan'er, I could suppress him back in the days when we fought for the position of Dragon King! I still have confidence in defeating him now!" The Dragon King laughed softly, "Don't forget, I am the Undefeated Dragon King of Huaxia, how could I possibly lose?"

Xia Wan'er hesitated, speaking in a low voice, "Cheng Feng, perhaps, we should join forces with the seniors of the Dragon Group to take down Long Guangyi?"

The Dragon King shook his head, "That's inappropriate. After all, Long Guangyi is my master's child and my junior brother! And this time, he is here to fulfill his twenty-year pact. As the Dragon King of the Dragon Group, I must accept his challenge!"

He paused, then said with a wry smile, "Moreover, many of the old seniors really like Long Guangyi. If I were to tell them about this, it might stir up more trouble!"

"Therefore, I must face this challenge and I must win!" The Dragon King stood tall and straight, his voice unwaveringly resolute!

On this occasion, one of the purposes for summoning Ling Feng was for the Dragon King to tell him about Long Guangyi's matter and entrust Ting Yu to him. However, in the end, the Dragon King realized his actions were unnecessary because he was confident that Ling Feng would definitely protect Ting Yu, so he chose not to inform Ling Feng about Long Guangyi's challenge.

Long Guangyi was the child of the former Dragon King and Liu Chengfeng's junior brother! That year, the Dragon Group was nurturing two successors for the Dragon King, and Long Guangyi was one of them! In terms of talent, Long Guangyi's talent surpassed Liu Chengfeng's; however, Liu Chengfeng was more resilient than Long Guangyi!

Nevertheless, Liu Chengfeng and Long Guangyi had different attitudes towards the future development of the Dragon Group!

Liu Chengfeng agreed with the Dragon Group's existing stance, to consolidate defense and protect Huaxia! In contrast, Long Guangyi believed that the Dragon Group's strength was enough to compete with the Papal Court of Light and the Dark Church, and there was no need to shrink back within Huaxia. The Group could even gain greater influence in the Underworld!

After careful consideration, the former Dragon King decided to pass the position of Dragon King to Liu Chengfeng because Long Guangyi's ambition was simply too great. If the title was given to him, he would lead the Dragon Group to destruction!

Long Guangyi disagreed with the former Dragon King's decision! Therefore, to ensure fairness, the former Dragon King decided to settle it through a duel as the final verdict.

By that time, Liu Chengfeng, whose strength had peaked, naturally defeated Long Guangyi who was still in his ascending phase!

Based on this, Liu Chengfeng successfully took over the banner of the Dragon King and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Dragon Group!

As for Long Guangyi, he could have continued to stay in the Dragon Group and become the captain of the Dragon Tooth Group, but the prideful Long Guangyi was not content. He left with a fierce declaration, "I do not accept this battle. In twenty years, when we all reach the peak of our strength, I will come for you again! Since we resolve matters through martial strength, I hope when you face defeat, you will hand over the title of Dragon King!"

With those words, Long Guangyi left the Dragon Group, disappearing without a trace! Even at the moment when the former Dragon King died in battle, he did not appear!

And not long ago, Long Guangyi, carrying a challenge letter, showed up in Yanjing. Liu Chengfeng knew that the twenty-year agreement was something Long Guangyi had never forgotten, and now he had arrived! As his senior brother, Liu Chengfeng would naturally honor the appointment!

But what made Liu Chengfeng uneasy was that the current Long Guangyi exuded a terrifying presence, as though facing The Abyss, and his strength was already no less than his own!

"Master, over these years, I have upheld the will of my predecessors, taking it upon myself to protect Huaxia. Now, I must face my junior brother, who has become very powerful. I'm not absolutely confident of defeating him, so... in this battle, I might not hold back! If I accidentally kill my junior brother during the battle, after I have trained a new Dragon King, I will personally descend and apologize to you!" the Dragon King stood by the window, looking at the distant sky, murmuring to himself.

At that moment, in front of a cemetery, a middle-aged man leaned against a tombstone. With a wine glass in one hand, he gently caressed the inscription: "Father, your son Long Guangyi has come to see you! I'm sorry, in pursuit of greater strength, I traveled to foreign lands, so much so that I didn't get to see you one last time, a failure of filial duty! But rest assured, the organization that killed you, I've utterly destroyed! Not sparing men, women, the elderly, nor children!"

As he spoke, he slowly poured out the wine, then knelt in front of the tombstone, speaking earnestly, "Father, this world is very cruel. The Underworld is especially brutal! The Dragon Group should not be like an old man in twilight, lacking ambition and passion! I waited twenty years, observed my senior brother for twenty years, only to regret that, like you, he wasted the Dragon Group's power! Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is more like your son?"

"While fulfilling the twenty-year agreement with my senior brother, I will definitely defeat him! I want him to witness with his own eyes how I bring the Dragon Group to the peak of the Underworld, how I make Huaxia the strongest nation in the world! Your spirit in heaven can see how I accomplish all this. By then, I think, whether it be you or my senior brother, both will agree I was right! Because in this world where the strong prey upon the weak, neither benevolence nor morality nor fairness nor justice is needed. As the strong, one must exhibit the demeanor of the strong!"

"I will rise above all, set the rules, and fiercely suppress those who do not submit!"
